A six-year-old boy who hit the news in 2011 for begging passengers at Zhengzhou train station on behalf of his crippled father has been abandoned by him and his new wife. Father Wang Lidong was involved in a traffic accident in 2009, and soon after the family’s money had all been spent on his medical bills his wife and daughter left, leaving him alone with his son Wang Menghao. After a video of Menghao begging appeared, donations flooded in, but Lidong soon vanished with the funds, leaving it up to Menghao’s grandmother to look after the boy. One netizen said it’s ok for people to be cold, but not cold-blooded.
